  Since this is a diferent name, and that was a good part of the
objection, I think you can call it a new group and discuss now. That's
certainly within the spirit of the guidelines (my opinion), you're not
bringing the same thing up again, there's a major change.

  I would really like to see this happen so the people running B news,
possibly a majority of the net, could have their group back.
